Brave Zoe O'Mahoney dies in parents' arms after battling 'aggressive brain tumour'

Brave little Zoe O'Mahoney of 'Zoe's Magic Wand' has died after a long battle with a "rare and aggressive brain tumour".

The four-year-old passed away in her parents' arms shortly after 2am in the early hours of Wednesday. Zoe was described as being a "bright, beautiful and brave girl who loves reading books, singing and wearing pretty dresses", Dublin Live reports. In July of last year, mum and dad Carmel and Alan and sister Holly received the devastating news that Zoe was sick, undergoing several surgeries since to remove the malignant brain tumour.But, Zoe wasn't going to let the tumour beat her and left on her own terms as her parents put it - developing a chest infection that she sadly just could not fight off.They announced the tragic news on the Zoe's Magic Wand page, thanking Crumlin children's Hospital for all their hard work also.

They continued: "Through the empathy and dedication of the combined staff of St John's and St Anne's wards in Crumlin Hospital, Zoe were treated with unfathomable kindness."We are heartbroken beyond words but we know she had enough.
